How much does it normally cost to defend a DUI?

Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
DUI/DWI lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
I don't think there is a "normal." Each attorney or law firm will set there own pricing. Many of us offer reasonable rates though. Feel free to contact as many as you like to find pricing.

How much will a first offense DUI be?

Answered by attorney Russell S Pietryga (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Pietryga Law Office
There are a number of factors that can effect the total cost of a first offense DUI. I have listed below, the sanctions for a driver, above 21 years of age. Hope this helps. The Utah Driver License Division and the Utah Courts will impose sanctions on a person for being arrested and/or convicted of driving under the influence. The Utah Driver License Division may impose sanctions based on the person's arrest. Additionally, the Utah Driver License Division will impose sanctions upon conviction. If convicted, Utah Courts will order mandatory sanctions. Additionally, there are a number of sanctions the Utah Courts may order. Listed below, are the sanctions the Utah Driver License Division and Utah Courts will impose. *Crime:* Class B misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both or with specified or unsafe blood alcohol concentration. *(See, Utah Code Ann. 41-6a-502 and Utah Code Ann. **?** 41-6a-503(1)(a))* * * *Imprisonment: *Utah Courts may impose a jail sentence for up 6 months, but not less than, 48 consecutive hours.

How much trouble am I in exactly for being arrested for DUI?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
DUI and resulting convictions are serious and have many lasting consequences. From what you said, in Colorado, your license will be suspended, you would have to pay restitution, could face jail time, community service hours, and/or fines and fees. In addition you would be required to carrier SR 22 and install and ignition interlock in your car in order to reinstate driving privileges. You might want to consider retaining a local DUI attorney to represent and defend the charges against you.
